Eloquence

[el-uh-kwuh ns]: The practice or art of using language with fluency and aptness.

Eloquence is a node.js MVC framework built as part of the open source Volunteerily project and used in production for Pinstory.

Key points

• The framework wraps everything in a promise enviromnent, encouraging clean code and avoiding callback hell.
• Catches any errors thrown at the controller level and redirects accordingly (404, 500...). On development, the full server error stack is also returned to the view, making it easy to debug.
• Provides lightweight model ORM with basic CRUD methods. It's easy to override the methods or add your own.
• Models trigger events, making it easy to handle dependencies between them.

Technology

• Cache (supports redis)
• Express
• Message Queue (supports rabbitMQ)
• Mailing (supports nodemailer)
• MVC pattern
• MongoDB
• Promises
